A predetermined length of hair-fixing strip is attached to the base mesh net by sewing in a spiral pattern. The amount of base decorative hair is limited to two-thirds of the entire hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to decorative hair. More particularly, thepresent invention relates to a decorative hair assembly comprising abase decorative hair and a top decorative hair.

Hair nets and hair-fixing strips are widely available on the openmarket. They have been used to enhance the physical appearance of manypeople. The prior art requires the user to tightly weave the user's hairand place a base mesh net on the user's head. The base mesh net is thensewn onto the user's hair at predetermined locations. Then, a pluralityof hair strands that are attached to a hair-fixing strip is sewn ontothe base mesh net.

The hair attaching process of the prior art is costly, time consuming,and tedious. The prior art may be labor intensive, requiring even anexperienced hair stylist several hours to complete the task. In othercases, glue is used to attach the hair-fixing strip to the base meshnet, which can damage the user's hair and can be very messy.

Wigs have also been used for centuries to decorate the hair of users.However, wigs carry an unfortunate risk of becoming separated orslightly misplaced on the user's head, which can be humiliating for theuser. In addition, wigs tend to appear unnatural or awkward.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention contrives to solve the disadvantages of the priorart.

An objective of the invention is to provide a decorative hair assemblysystem that is less costly and less labor intensive than the prior art.

Another objective of the invention is to provide a decorative hairassembly system that is more natural looking and secure on the user'shead. It is important for the users to feel confident and self-assuredwith their hair.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention providesa decorative hair system that comprises a base net and base decorativehair that is attached to the base net where the base net comprises abase mesh net that is adapted to be fixed to the hair of the user. Thebase decorative hair comprises a plurality of hair strands and ahair-fixing strip to which ends of the hair strands are attached. Apredetermined length of the hair-fixing strip is attached to the basemesh net by sewing the hair-fixing strip to the base mesh net. Thehair-fixing strip is sewn onto the base mesh net in a spiral pattern.

The base mesh net is designed to be fixed to the hair of the user bysewing the base mesh net to a plurality of points on the hair of theuser. The base mesh net comprises stretchable mesh and a lower edgestrip that limits the edge of the stretchable net. The lower edge stripcomprises one or more elastic bands, which allows for a snug fit on theuser's head.

The decorative hair assembly also comprises of a top hair piece that isadapted to be attached to the top portion of the base net, wherein theamount of base decorative hair is limited to a predetermined value. In apreferred embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined valueof decorative hair is about two-thirds of the user's head. Thus, thehair-fixing strip is sewn from the lower edge strip of the bottom netand spirals up the bottom net about two-thirds of the way up.

The top hair piece, which is adapted to simulate the top portion of ahuman head, comprises a top hair net and top decorative hair attached tothe top hair net. The top decorative hair comprises a plurality of hairstrands and a hair-fixing strip to which ends of the hair strands areattached. The hair-fixing strip is sewn onto the top hair net.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top hair pieceis adapted to simulate the whirl of hair on a human head. The mainmotivation behind making a top decorative hair and a base decorativehair is that it is difficult and impractical to affix a singlehair-fixing strip to begin from the elastic strip and end all the way upto the apex of the base mesh net. In addition, it is easier to make thetop whirl look more natural and realistic using a separate top hairpiece.

In top hair piece comprises a hair-fixing strip sewn onto the top hairnet in a spiral shape.

Thus, the base mesh net with a hair-fixing strip already attached in aspiral pattern is placed on top of the user's head and the base mesh netis sewn at predetermined locations to the user's hair. Then, the tophair piece is attached to the top portion of the base mesh net tocomplete the desired look. The process of painstakingly sewing thehair-fixing strip to the base mesh net by the hair stylist iseliminated.

The advantages of the present invention are: (1) labor cost and timeconsumption of sewing the hair-fixing strip to the base mesh net isdrastically reduced; (2) the decorative hair assembly can be securelywoven into the user's hair; and (3) the decorative hair assembly is morenatural looking. In the present invention, the hair-fixing strip alreadycomes sewn into the base mesh net as a single product, whereas the priorart requires a hair stylist to spend up to several hours sewing thehair-fixing strip to the base mesh net.

Although the present invention is briefly summarized, the fullerunderstanding of the invention can be obtained by the followingdrawings, detailed description and appended claims.
